This chapter delves into a conversation with Suzanne Clark, CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, discussing the optimism in American business, challenges faced by CEOs, and concerns around government regulations. The dialogue touches on the disconnect between CEO optimism and public concerns, focusing on issues like rising costs and housing shortages. It also explores the impact of geopolitical uncertainties, specifically US-China relations, and the importance of strategic priorities in navigating regulatory overreach and political instability.
